Random Street Phonographs
It's been a long time since I last took street photographs with a Smartphone. I used to enjoy taking pictures with my iPhone 6 Plus until it went dead in October 2021. The latest iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max with upgraded features has a super steep price tag. So, after using iOS for almost 6 years, I went back to an Android phone - the Realme C21 (RMX3201). The camera function is not as good as iPhone, of course, but good enough for normal photo-taking.
So, one afternoon I took a few impromptu photos at the nearby Community Club, and these are the two presentable ones to show here. The images are made with a downloaded camera app namely, Manual Camera: DSLR Camera Pro. All images are post-processed in Snapseed app. Yes, it is my all-time favorite mobile photo editing app.
OK, that's it for today's blog. Just want to make a quick blog post sharing some simple and random photos with you all. Take care and have a great week ahead. Cheers!

Which photograph do you like best? Is the color one or monochrome? Let me know in the comment section below.
Personally, I like both (chuckles). However, the monochrome eliminates all color elements, giving more form and textures. I always see and previsualize in black and white despite shooting in color with an old DSLR like D70s. No Monochrome mode in this digital camera but this camera is so easy to work with. Not so many settings to fumble around.
The temple in the photo is Sri Krishnan Temple. It is a Hindu temple in Singapore. Built in 1870 and gazetted as a national monument of Singapore in 2014, it is one of Singapore's oldest temples and is the only South Indian temple in Singapore dedicated to Krishna and his consort Rukmini.
I hope you enjoy my new work and there are more to come. So, subscribe to my blog for recent photo posts and get notified of new posts if you haven't already done so. You too can follow me on my IG here. Thank you.

Street Photography with the NIKON Z fc
Greetings fellow readers and street photographers! It's been a long while since I last posted. A long hiatus it is I must admit. My sincere apologies for the long absence. The COVID-19 pandemic has truly affected me and my street photography. I took a whole lot lesser photos last year than the previous year. None for the first quarter this year. Last year, it was on and off in-between months, and recently I have tried to get back. Dang! It was way tougher than I expected. So much to re-adapt and focus on. Like I have to re-learn everything about street photography.
In today's blog, I'm not promoting the NIKON Z fc camera whatsoever, nor am I doing a camera review, which I don't do, and never will. I'm not affiliated with NIKON Singapore and I gain nothing out of it. Just sharing my street photos using the camera. So without much ado, let's jump right in.

Street Photo - Sleep Deprivation
Saw these 2 Indian ladies sleeping on the train when I boarded. Their dressing color compliment with the train company campaign sticker, stood out strongly. I sat right opposite them and snapped a few shots with my smartphone on Camera+ app. From their sloppy sitting position, it’s obvious these ladies were deprived from a good sleep the night before. Red color always symbolizes angst, energy, fiery and power. Somehow their sleepiness has this great contrast which is the reason I made this photo. Photo was post-processed in Snapseed for color correction and enhancement, with minor crop.

Street Photo - Chilled Sip In The Shade
It's been 3 months since my last blog post. It's 2021 and today is the third day of Chinese Lunar New Year. I stepped out of the house, walking on the streets with my Vivitar PN2011 point-and-shoot 35mm film camera. I got nothing in mind to shoot. Just walk and walk. Keeping a look out for interesting characters. I took several frames and yet to complete the roll.
I was walking around Chinatown and came to this spot where this sunlight hit upon this notice board and a red colored pillar. This scene reminded me of a photo I once made at this spot 9 years ago. Click here for the photo.
I thought it was a good lighting and hope to get some interesting street photos. Hence I stood nearby to get the composition with my iPhone 6 Plus on Camera+. Then I waited for a few minutes for the right subject to walk by into the sunlight area. A few people walked by and many shots were made. When I thought I was done and about to leave, this short gentleman came by and stood still right there at the edge of the shade. He took his time to enjoy his Coke. He took a few sips and held still in that position for a few moments, as if he was in deep thoughts. I took the chance to make a few shots.
In this photo presented above, I was trying to connect his can of Coca Cola to the red colored pillar, though they are obviously unrelated but somehow their cylindrical shapes are. Another color is present in this street scene i.e. the subject's green colored polo T-shirts against the signage and foliage in the far background.
One part of this street scene that I like is the subject's cast shadow, which was caused by the reflected sunlight on the notice board. The lighting effect was nice and it made the subject stood out instead of blending into the dark shade.
